Kieran and Timberlake - Loblolly House - Modular, Prefab, Disassembly

Key Aspects discussed:

Light contact with the earth
Modelled entirely within BIM, where the confidently resolved all key issues and clashes
Bosch aluminium extrusions
Integrated assemblies of each element
Key idea was to establish a scaffold based system - flexible and strong
Digital fabrication techniques utilised 3D model for accuracy
Interesting challenge - taking high tolerance bosch strut and the interface that with low tech wooden piles
Control tolerance and add accuracy from the ground up (timber piles to aluminium frames)
integration of leading edge technology and scope - to find a better more efficient way to build
Everything is accessible and simple on site = easy and stress free
